We All Need Story

We live in an age of shallow learning and ephemeral content. Listicles, life-hack videos and punchy self-help books claim to hold the answers when really it’s in something more simple and enjoyable. It’s in fiction. This is because every work of fiction is, at its core, a story. Humans learn through metaphor. Brené Brown says it best, “Story is data with a soul.”

By returning to great stories our society can change for the better. I believe in sharing and creating positive stories with the goal that it replaces the ephemeral and toxic content we see all over the internet.

What I’m Working On

I keep a running list of the projects I’m making. Today I’m spending time each day to write the following:

Grigsby Series – a satirical series about a crazy financier who gets into all sorts of adventures. Think of Grigsby Ives Pemberton as an amalgam of Hunter S. Thompson, John Bulishi, and Bruce Wayne.

Tuckernuck Island – (coming soon) this is a grounded-science fiction novel that’s set to debut by 2018.
